It is possible that "Srpska Garda Beograd" was a temporary name for the humanitarian aid fund, Fond komandantu srpske garde Đorđa Božovića, which was established the same year. The fund's patrons and board members would comprise of authors from the SPO's publication, ''Srpska reč'' with one writing speeches for the 1993 single ''[[Zaveštanje]]''. The featured artist on this album, Miladin Karličić, has also had his work featured in the publication. Furthermore, the single shares similar tape labels to the album ''[[Pesme Srpskog Pokreta Obnove]]'' which was published by Srpska reč. The tape shell and overall design is close to that of releases from Diskos, a label that was responsible for manufacturing copies of ''Pesme Srpskog Pokreta Obnove''. Both Srpska garda Beograd and Fond Giška are based in the same place with both organizations including Milena Božović, Giška's mother and president of the fund.
Slava junaku was published some time in 1992 by SRPSKA GARDA Beograd. While no label is technically attached to the album, the guard's leader Vuk Drašković was an established author, and it is possible that he had some involvement in getting the album published. However there is nothing to support this claim.
